How Dark Harvest works

Domination · Keystone

Dark Harvest deals 30 adaptive damage (+11 per soul, +10% bonus AD, +5% AP) to champions below 50% health; 35s cooldown that drops to 1s on takedown.

  • Each proc harvests a soul, permanently adding 11 damage, so the rune keeps growing for as long as the game lasts.
  • The cooldown resets to 1s on a takedown, letting it chain through several low-health targets in one teamfight.
  • Pick it on champions who reliably finish fights and expect long games; if you need to win lane hard before 20 minutes, Electrocute front-loads more damage.
